Beautiful work by the artist Johan Ponsioen 1900-1969. Painting and frame are in perfect condition. A self-portrait is painted on the back of the panel.
Johannes Bernardus Ponsioen was born in Nijmegen in 1900 and died in 1969 in Tiel. Ever since his youth, Johan Ponsioen wanted to become a painter. However, at the insistence of his parents, he trained as a teacher, a profession he would continue to practice throughout his working life. In addition, he developed into a successful painter with a considerable oeuvre. His early work has an academic, impressionistic style. Ponsioen's most famous paintings are the portraits and still lifes in a realistic style that he made between 1934 and 1947. With his work from this period he sought connections with the magical realism of contemporaries such as Dick Ket, Pyke Koch, Raoul Hynckes and Carel Willink. In addition to paintings and drawings, he also worked as a graphic artist and monumental artist.
